Post the shows that are hyping star wars here. Not broadcast of the movies.
Animal Planet is doing something on the creatures.
Discovery is doing something on how SW tech has affected current Tech. (from the commerical it looks like lucas is going to claim credit for all tech ideas)

It's not a show, but the BK/Vader commercial cracked me up...

The Discovery Channel is actually a three part thing.

Tonight is "Man and Machine", tomorrow "Space Cowboys", and Wednesday "War, Weaponry, and The Force"

I just want to jump in and remind everyone how much influence Lucas has had on movies and everything. If you look at was has come out of what he did to make star wars, you will find tons of stuff, no one think of. From ILM which has spawned dozens of special effect companies, to skywalker sound. It is amazing the impact this guy has had. His stuff is even responsible for Bioware. Pixar is his creation. Avid tech to wich he sold the first digital editiing software ever made.. He was responsible for THX sound. All of these things and more came from his gathering the right people and giving them the space and money to create. remmeber that the next time you are quick to mention him taking credit for anything. Here is an interesting article

Well, I turned away after the first 30 minutes, thought the show was weak.

That article is reaching. I don't anybody who help Lucas is still working with Jobs. Kind like saying Ford is responsible of indy 500.

Like the show last night it appears to say Lucas did it all and needed no improvements. Or his ideas were the seeds that inspired everything. Hmm why is the artifical hands were call waldo's. From R.A.H Waldo incorp. Where a man in a spacestation uses gloves and tv to work on microscopic stuff down on earth.
The show to me was just a string of video stories interspace with star wars introductions.

Yeah. I'm more interested in Wednesday's, which is "War, Weaponry, and The Force".
